Distribution of Na{sup 22} and Cs{sup 134} in fallout, foods and people

The air concentrations of Na{sup 22} and Cs{sup 134} have been measured during the past two years and their fallout rats compared with that of Cs{sup 137}. Measurements of these radionuclides in various foods and bioassay samples permit a comparison of the route by which the cosmic ray produced Na{s...

Description
Summary:The air concentrations of Na{sup 22} and Cs{sup 134} have been measured during the past two years and their fallout rats compared with that of Cs{sup 137}. Measurements of these radionuclides in various foods and bioassay samples permit a comparison of the route by which the cosmic ray produced Na{sup 22} enters man with that of the cesium radionuclides, and compares the Na{sup 22} body burdens of people in Washington State with the Alaskan Eskimos. 8 refs. 2 tabs.
